What "rules" are you referring to that impacts project management and business plans?

Those two twits on SSN’s transfer show.

Twit 1  (Referring to Ronaldo) “ His preferred move was to Manchester City” Less than 10 seconds later “And now he’s got his dream move back to Old Trafford” ?

Twit 2 With the urgency of an announcement of Covid being a thing of the past and everlasting world peace declared “I got a text, I got a text yesterday afternoon at 15:44 saying Manchester City was his destination”

I’ve never seen two people so full of their own self importance as these two. Oh for the phantom flan flinger to appear out of nowhere.

Didn’t the rules change in 1999 ??

I see what you did there. ?

Mel Morris  accusing the EFL of amateur negotiations when accepting Skys offer for the TV rights.

Don’t forget having the temerity to pip Gibson’s Middlesbrough (on the final day of the season ?) to sixth place and subsequently deny them a place in the play offs in 2019. Boy, did he not like that.

Big difference here is that in the previous case, and likely this one, they can get named abroad anyway as their press isn't held to any of our regulation so the name is going to get out online regardless.

Oh well, disregard everything I’ve posted everybody, nothing to see here.

There is a strong case for the accused to remain anonymous (like the victims are) until proven guilty - but appreciate that is hard where it's someone famous and the public interest angle kicks in. Doesn't feel right though. Also wasn't there a Tory MP accused of rape last year but his name was never revealed? Or did I imagine that?

I get what you are saying re the public interest angle. There is also the Internet speculation angle which we saw recently with an Everton player that was arrested for an under age offence who was not named publicly but was widely named on social media.

I’m unaware of the Tory MP you refer to but wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case, some people have friends in higher places than others.

It’s a difficult one alright and I’m in no way attempting to defend this man, I would just feel more comfortable if he (and all others accused of this kind of crime) remained anonymous until the legal procedure has taken it’s due course and has determined his/their innocence or guilt.

It's not that easy. 

It's one thing suspecting what's occuring, another thing proving it. 

Say I call them, give his reg and those of his customers I've written down, what do you think will happen? 

I couldn't honestly say I've seen drugs change hands, just people get in a car and some type of transaction take place. 

Hardly likely to get Plod racing around on a stakeout, is it?

 

Can’t you make out to plod he’s kerb crawling and you are concerned he’s trying to entice minors ? No mention of drugs, your conscience will be clear on that issue, he gets a tug for suspected kerb crawling and the issue is solved. 

My work here is done.

Doubled-edged sword really. If he is innocent, then it's horrible for him. If he is not, then it's good to get it public as it might bring out more victims who have been quiet before.

Ethically thinking it really is a tough one.

If he is guilty, by all means it should be made public but what if he is innocent ? Should his name have been put in the public domain ? I’m not sure. It’s not shoplifting we’re addressing here, it’s one of the most serious crimes a man can be accused of and so I wonder if anonymity should be the name of the game until proven guilty, that’s all.

Fans from other clubs are replying questioning why the EFL are even discussing/negotiating with us on the punishment.

It's a valid point, why are they?

The answer is pretty obvious at this point, they haven't got a leg to stand on and all this is a face saving exercise to please some fella up in the North East that's beyond tedious now.

You know that and I know that, so does the rest of this forum but it bugs me that halfwit from OTIB for one is making a life’s work out of making us out to be the bad guys in all this. And he will not be the only one.

I can’t believe a decent journalist from a national newspaper has not tried to get to the bottom of this and put their findings out for fans of other clubs to understand the EFL are on nothing more than the face saving exercise you mention. Their incompetence really should be laid bare for all to see.

I only know that as I did the same thing a few months ago and hit on the solution randomly. 

I don’t do random solutions. ☹️

What happens when you click on Wayne Rooney's DCFC Fans? The across arrow should be replaced by a down arrow revealing a drop down list of all the Forums

Yeah, I knew that. Was just testing y’all ? 

Don't know how that happened, don’t remember touching anything I shouldn’t have but thanks Tyler, I was quite perplexed.

*I was able to post the above by going into my notifications whatsit and making out I was replying to my last notification.

Otherwise, can’t access the forum at all. ?‍♂️

POPODOPOLOUS...IS THIS YOU ?

This might appear daft but has anyone else “ lost” the forum ? This all I’ve got.

Better still, don’t even consider it. Can’t think of anything worse.

Mel's response!

 

I would have a fair bit of respect for him if that was his stance but what with one thing and another I think he’s lost the will to take them on again. 

Can’t you still be professional in the National League ? ?

The EFL want a nine point deduction, we tell them we were thinking along the lines of three...six points deduction incoming then. ?‍♂️

Got SSN on now and down the right hand side of the screen is a picture of him and a list of the charges. Now, if he is guilty, string him up by his privates by all means but if he’s not guilty...well, mud sticks doesn’t it ?

Just seen this on the Sky News ticker thing at the bottom of the screen. Not going to comment because I don’t know the facts however I do wonder if people charged on this kind of thing should remain anonymous until proved guilty. ?‍♂️
